“Tommy, what do you mean, it’s a feathered bird,” I said, shooting him a Look.

He didn’t catch it. “No, it’s another word for penis. A boy in my class said it and had to sit out in the hall.”

“It means PENIS?” Natalie shrieked. She tossed her head back and cracked up. “Cock, cock, cock!”

“Stop it!” I hissed, shutting the front door. I hoped no one was walking past. Our screen was open. People jog by often. I didn’t want to be known as the penis house.

“Cock, cock, cock!” Natalie continued.

“Cock-a-doodle-do said the rooster,” I insisted. “That’s right, sweetheart!”

“Cock means penis,” Natalie snickered.

We were set to leave for the school carnival. I did not want her sharing this information to her friends. Can you IMAGINE the looks the parents would give me? What are you allowing your children to watch? Well, Family Guy, sometimes, if I'm being completely honest. But they've never repeated a naughty word from the show. I swear!

“Cock means penis,” I pictured Natalie whispering to her friends. And then the word would spread and the principal would have to come over the loudspeaker and go, “Could everyone refrain from using a particular word that rhymes with dock? It is not appropriate in a school setting. Or anywhere.”

Anyway, I’m keeping the spelling test in Natalie’s school book that I have yet to fill out. (I should start on that before I start forgetting teacher names and such…)

haha! And the teacher who corrected that..do you think he/she laughed? I know I would have! We have roofers over today and my little baby crawled out into the kitchen and my daughter yelled, "Look, it's f**ker!" I have no idea where that came from but I do know we had people over and they heard it!

Oh Natalie-- you keep your momma on her toes, don't you! She reminds me of when my kids were little. Hm. Maybe I have to blog about little Rachel, age 5, coming in to tell me about the neighbor boy's penis... Thanks for the prompt!

Just hoping you all made it through the terrible storms today! I'm fairly certain you aren't too close the areas hit really hard, but as a newby to Tornado Alley, I'm sure it has been a pretty scary day for you and your family.

And as a sidebar, on a little Mother's Day "About my Mom" questionnaire, a boy in my son's pre-k class responded "What does my mommy likes to: (fill in the blank)" and the boy's response was "watch Adult Movies".....that got an awesome laugh!!!

Yep. We had something like that after a visit to the Chinese restaurant that had the animal years listed. Rooster was listed as Cock instead. Many conversations about who should stay away from the cock and who would be best suited for a cock and cock cock cock this and that... Oy vey.

I'm not sure why but years ago when the kids were little I taught them the proper terms vagina & penis ... well they went around telling everyone they met; did you know girls have a vagina and boys have a penis?
